@RussOnPolitics This chuck Schumer guy sounds pretty great, excited to see what legislative accomplishments he makes once he has a majority behind him. Republicans and Israel must be nervous!
@shesrightshow Comparing LBJ to Pelosi is insulting to his legacy, Jesus. He got us Medicare and the great society. No Democrat since has done anything even remotely close to impressive.
@neoliberal_hack I mean, the ACA has done nothing to really make healthcare affordable and has become a ticking fiscal time bomb. Non disruptive healthcare changes seem doomed to fail, no?
@ok_post_guy How one could look at the last 40-50 years and express any sort of outrage at the implication of Dems blowing anything, is beyond me.
That's all they've done in my lifetime!
@Frasier67Blank@TaritaC A decade less than chuck!
Now think about how many more people know his name - or like his politics and image. Think hard about which has more appeal to the American people, and which represents a positive vision of change versus more Reagan/Clinton era malaise. Its not just age
@trouble_man90 They won because Trump keeps self owning. Doing nothing (as normies Dems have done for forty years) will sow the seeds of another gop win. Listen to the left if you want a better future, ignore if you want more of the same.
@Frasier67Blank@TaritaC Let's get em all out then and get some young progressive blood ๐
Also Bernie's actual been in Washington for a relatively short period of time since he was in VT politics for a long while before that
@ok_post_guy There's value in showing that "it's his turn" isn't a good reason to keep people in power. Dem leadership should learn from the failure of Kamala and Hillary.
@BenSpielberg I think the symbolism of being able to actually grassroots remove a leader is huge, too. Maybe VH is mediocre too but a precedent is set, rather than the entitled "it's his turn" shit we've been forced to endure for decades.
